Grade Book Codes

Segment 1: GrowthThis area communicates information about the growth of each student. The following codes are used to indicate the observed growth trajectory of each student:

AG: Adequate Growth

MG: Minimal Growth

FG: Failing to Grow

I: Insufficient Evidence

Note that these codes do not equate to a grade. They simply indicate if the student is growing at the rate that is expected within the curriculum. This means that a student could have a "C" grade trajectory represented by an AG code. This example would indicate that a student is growing at the rate that is expected however, their initial aptitude was low (indicated in the next segment, listed below).

Segment 2: AptitudeThis area communicates information about the aptitude of each student. The following codes are used to indicate the mastery level of each student in the targets and standards of the course:

4: Exceeds Expectations

3: Meets Expectations

2: Approaching Expectations

1: Still Developing

M: Missing Evidence, Can Be Turned In

N: Missing Evidence, Cannot Be Turned In

*: Anything marked with a * is NOT IN THE GRADE CALCULATION!

Segment 3: Behavior (Not used in Grade Determination)This area of the portal communicates information about the habits of work of each student, such as but not limited to homework, participation, on task behavior, executive functioning to name a few. Behavior evidence will be reported in the following areas:

Self-Management & Self-Awareness

Social Awareness & Relationship Skills

Responsible Decision Making

Please note that if the student is behaving as expected no codes will be entered. Only when a teacher becomes concerned about one of these areas will they enter one of the three following codes.

CN - Concerned about the listed SEL domain

BLANK - No Concern about the listed SEL domain

PS - Child's behavior in the listed SEL domain is so strong that it is POSITIVELY influencing the culture of the classroom.

Headers

There are many sections to the new grade portal. Below is a screenshot of them and a description of their meaning.

Proficiency Evidence

There is also a + sign icon that when clicked will open to the proficiency evidence that has been collected thus far for the student. See the organization and its meaning below.

Dates and Comments

There are also Dates and Comments listed to help note when evidence was collected and clarify why a proficiency score was assigned.

Homework Log

There is also a Homework Log Section that contains all the homework to date and its status.

Social Emotional Learning Information (Behavior and Character)

There is also a section that houses information about the student's academic, social, and personal behavior. This is not factored into the grade but used to support the student's growth while here at Stevenson.
